Nordic River Partners with Box.net to Offer Input Management for Shared Documents

TextFlow Enables Box.net Users to Gather, Reflect and Decide on All Text Input and Feedback from Multiple Users at One Time

UMEA, Sweden--(EON: Enhanced Online News)--Nordic River, provider of visual version management software solutions, and Box.net, a Cloud Content Management provider, announce a joint partnership to integrate Nordic River’s TextFlow input management service into Box.net’s content management and collaboration solution. With the TextFlow OpenBox application, Box.net users will now be able to easily compare and merge multiple document versions, allowing the seamless handling of all text input from other users.

“Not only can Box.net customers access, manage, and share all of their content online, but now, through this partnership, they can more easily merge multiple versions of a document and improve workflow.”

Using its WeaveSync technology - an indexing, matching and synchronization tool for documents – TextFlow offers a more simplified way to manage input, as well as merge and track suggestions and text contributions from multiple writers at once. The integration of TextFlow into Box will enable teams to gather all feedback among multiple versions of their shared documents, reflect on it, and then decide how to incorporate each member’s input into the final document.

“With the integration of Nordic River’s TextFlow service, we have further extended our document collaboration capabilities, enabling users to increase productivity and streamline feedback collection, a process that typically involves endless emails, phone calls and instant messages,” said Karen Appleton, vice president of business development, Box.net. “Not only can Box.net customers access, manage, and share all of their content online, but now, through this partnership, they can more easily merge multiple versions of a document and improve workflow.”

“We are thrilled to be working with Box.net to enable their more than 50,000 business customers to better manage text input from colleagues, clients, etc.,” said Tomer Shalit, CEO, Nordic River. “With the combination of simple, secure sharing, and professional input management, the TextFlow OpenBox application enables users to reflect on everyone’s input at once and quickly put their final decisions in place. With TextFlow, managing input has never been easier.”

After current Box.net users register with TextFlow, the application is available immediately for $9.95 per month or $99.00 per year to Box.net Individual, Business, and Enterprise edition customers as a Premium OpenBox application.
